Like most people, I like the idea of keeping my family and my home secure, but I don’t like the idea of locking myself into a multi-year service contract during which I have to pay a high monthly monitoring fee. SimpliSafe is a DIY smart home security system that’s easy to set up and use. it keeps your home safe from intruders and environmental threats like fires and floods. It’s a seamless system that succeeds quite well at what it sets out to do—secure your home simply and flexibly, letting you monitor everything remotely with (or without) an affordable monthly plan. SimpliSafe provides an ideal balance of high-quality service, ease of use, and value, earning our Editors’ Choice award for DIY home security systems alongside Adobe Iota and Wyze Home Monitoring. In addition, for the fifth year running, PCMag readers have named SimpliSafe their favorite smart home security system.
SIMPLISAFE PACKAGE PRICING
One of the best things about SimpliSafe is that it’s a completely flexible system, with five preconfigured packages available. On the high end, there’s the Haven package ($504), which comes with 14 hardware components including the base station, a wireless keypad, a keychain remote, two motion sensors, four door/window entry sensors, a panic button, a 105-decibel siren, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, water and freeze sensors, and a SimpliSafe yard sign and window decals. The least expensive Foundation pack ($245), which is designed for small homes and focuses solely on basic home security, includes the base station, a wireless keypad, one motion sensor, one entry sensor, and the yard sign and decals. You’ll frequently find steep discounts on these packages, or you can choose components to build your own custom system from scratch.
